“Don’t judge a book by its cover,” goes the old saying. Apparently it’s true with Tequila as well!

A pretty terrific Cognac. Enough boundaries are being pushed here to make this worth one's while.
Overall Rating: ★★★
I suppose if we were ever going to do a viral, clickbait-like “drink this, not that” article, I’d probably tell the world to drink this over Macallan 12, full stop.

A little late for St. Patrick’s Day, but any time of year is a great time for this underappreciated Irish Whiskey.
Overall Rating: ★★★
Sure, it’s a misfit of a scotch whisky, but it’s one I think everybody should try, and many will fall in love with it.
Overall Rating: ★★★
Honestly, it’s the best to come out of the distillery, and has a price tag to match. It’s hard to live up to that hype, but in fairness, can anything?
Overall Rating: ★★★
We’ve been writing about a lot of flawed products lately. Let’s cover one I love.
Overall Rating: ★★★
An utterly remarkable whisky, no question. Well, aside from whether you’re willing to pay for the privilege of trying the damn stuff.
Overall Rating: ★★★
A review perhaps too long in coming. This American homage to a Japanese whisky is a must-try flavor bomb.
Overall Rating: ★★★
“Jack Daniel’s” carries a lot of connotation. The standard black label “Jay Dee” might not hold appeal, but don’t sleep on its upmarket brand extension. It’s delicious.
Overall Rating: ★★★
Here's my pitch when it comes to choosing from the Old Forester variants: do you want more, or do you want better? The 1910 shoots for “better,” and for that I am a big fan.
Overall Rating: ★★★
There's a lot to be said about knowing where the goalposts are and then kicking the ball through them without much screwing around or having aspirations of anything flashier. The EC Small Batch is this philosophy in liquid form.

Everything’s bigger in Texas! No surprise, then, that the Lone Star State would produce such a delightful ass-kicker.
Overall Rating: ★★★
Not the most expensive Irish, nor the fanciest, but it’s permanently on my mind when it comes to gifting for several good reasons.
Overall Rating: ★★★
It’s been some time since we saw a Vodka around these parts. Time to dig into one that turned out to be surprisingly good!
Overall Rating: ★★★
I’d argue it’s a great whisky, but Springbank 12 is a study in how great whiskies can sometimes be challenging or outright baffling if you don’t know what you’re getting into. I hope you decide to take the plunge!
Overall Rating: ★★★
A citrus-forward gin by one of the big boys that’s better than it has any right to be. Absolutely stupendous stuff.
Overall Rating: ★★★
Life is hard enough as it is. So when a good thing comes along, why talk yourself out of enjoying it to the fullest?
Overall Rating: ★★★
Often, the very first “good” gin most will have, and thankfully one most will be unlikely to outgrow if they dig deeper into the category.
Overall Rating: ★★★
A blend of malt whiskies that becomes much more than the sum of its parts. Distinctive and delicious!
